France
After training as an engineer, Roger Tallon joined Technès in 1953, the design office of Jacques Viénot, the father of industrial aesthetics. In 1973, he founded his own agency Design Programmes SA, then ADSA Partners alongside Pierre Paulin in 1983. At the same time teaching at the École des Arts Appliqués in Paris, he was behind the industrial design department at the École Normal Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. He also designed the interiors of nightclubs and Parisian bars, for which he designed his famous “Modules 400” furniture published by Jacques Lacloche, as well as the “Zombie” armchair. Roger Tallon gravitated in the artistic world and worked with Yves Klein, César, Arman and Catherine Millet, for whom he designed the graphic design of the magazine Art Press in 1972. His work as an industrial designer now has an international reputation; he notably modernized the SNCF, the TGV and the Mexico City metro.
